Om Freestyle Chess
Entrepreneur Jan Henric Buettner and world no. 1 Magnus Carlsen founded Freestyle 2024. Freestyle is chess – with a twist: the setup of the pieces on the back row is randomized before the game. This eliminates the need for traditional chess opening theory, making every game new from the start. Players navigate uncharted territory from the first move.
After the inaugural WEISSENHAUS Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T. Challenge tournament in February 2024, the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour will begin in February 2025 with the first of five tournaments: Weissenhaus/Germany (February 7-14), Paris/France (April 8-15), New York/USA (July 17-24), Delhi/India (September 17-24), Cape Town/South Africa (December 5-12).
Hva er Freestyle Chess/Chess960/Fischer Random?
Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a chess variant that randomizes the starting position of the pieces on the back rank. It was introduced by former world chess champion Bobby Fischer in 1996 to reduce the emphasis on opening preparation and to encourage creativity in play. Chess960 uses the same board and pieces as classical chess, but the starting position of the pieces on the players’ home ranks is randomized, following certain rules. The random setup makes gaining an advantage through the memorization of openings unfeasible. Players instead must rely on their skill and creativity.
Randomizing the main pieces had long been known as shuffle chess, but Fischer introduced new rules for the initial random setup, «preserving the dynamic nature of the game by retaining bishops of opposite colors for each player and the right to castle for both sides». The result is 960 unique possible starting positions.
In 2008, FIDE added Chess960 to an appendix of the Laws of Chess. The first world championship officially sanctioned by FIDE, the FIDE World Fischer Random Chess Championship 2019, brought additional prominence to the variant. It was won by Wesley So. In 2022, Hikaru Nakamura became the new champion.
